The documents for the meeting can be found at http://phenix.it-sudparis.eu/jct/. For the first two JCT-VC meetings, the JCT-VC documents had been made available at http://ftp3.itu.int/av-arch/jctvc-site, and documents for the first two JCT-VC meetings remain archived there as well. That site was also used for distribution of the contribution document template and circulation of drafts of this meeting report.

The JCT-VC email list is managed through https://mailman.rwth-aachen.de/mailman/options/jct-vc, and to send email to the reflector, the email address is jct-vc@lists.rwth-aachen.de. Only members of the reflector can send email to the list. However, membership of the reflector is not limited to qualified JCT-VC participants.

It was emphasized that reflector subscriptions and email sent to the reflector must use real names when subscribing and sending messages and subscribers must respond to inquiries regarding the nature of their interest in the work.

It was emphasized that usually discussions concerning CEs and AHGs should be performed using the reflector. CE internal discussions should primarily be concerned with organizational issues. Substantial technical issues that are not reflected by the original CE plan should be openly discussed on the reflector. Any new developments that are result of private communication cannot be considered to be the result of the CE.

For the case of CE documents and AHG reports, email addresses of participants and contributors may be obscured or absent (and will be on request), although these will be available (in human readable format – possibly with some "obscurification") for primary CE coordinators and AHG chairs.

FDAM: Final draft amendment – a draft text of an amendment to an international standard for the third formal ballot stage of the approval process in ISO/IEC – corresponding to an FDIS for complete texts.

FDIS: Final draft international standard – a draft text of an international standard for the third formal ballot stage of the approval process in ISO/IEC – corresponding to an FDAM for amendment texts.

HEVC: High Efficiency Video Coding – the video coding standard developed and extended by the JCT-VC.

IBC (also Intra BC): Intra block copy – a technique by which sample values are predicted from other samples in the same picture by means of a displacement vector called a block vector, in a manner conceptually similar to motion-compensated prediction.

IPCM: Intra pulse-code modulation (similar in spirit to IPCM in AVC and HEVC).

JM: Joint model – the primary software codebase that has been developed for the AVC standard.

JSVM: Joint scalable video model – another software codebase that has been developed for the AVC standard, which includes support for scalable video coding extensions.

Last Call: The stage of the ITU-T "alternative approval process" that follows Consent, during which a proposed text is available on the ITU web site for consideration as a candidate for final approval.

LB or LDB: Low-delay B – the variant of the LD conditions that uses B pictures.

LD: Low delay – one of two sets of coding conditions designed to enable interactive real-time communication, with less emphasis on ease of random access (contrast with RA). Typically refers to LB, although also applies to LP.

LM: Linear model.

LP or LDP: Low-delay P – the variant of the LD conditions that uses P frames.

LUT: Look-up table.

LTRP: Long-term reference pictures

MANE: Media-aware network elements.

MC: Motion compensation.

MPEG: Moving picture experts group (WG 11, the parent body working group in ISO/IEC JTC 1/‌SC 29, one of the two parent bodies of the JCT-VC).
